Re: problems recognising existing git repo

[Andy]

Thanks Richard, problem solved - it was a path issue.
This may help someone...if you want to use version control from within Lyx,
you need to ensure that git is on the path. This can be set from within LyX
at Tools - Preferences - Paths - PATH prefix.

 Have you checked if the git repo is readable outside LyX? Are you able to
 do anything using git from inside LyX?

Tracking changes output errors

[Andy]

Hi people.

I have a Ph.d thesis as a master document with various branches. I've been
using track changes to edit individual chapters. My problem arise when I
try to produce the Master document without showing changes. I keep getting
! Undefined control sequence.\lyxadded or \lyxdeleted. The document can be
produced if I show changes in the output file. It is only one include file
which causes these errors.

I'm using ubuntu 12.10.4 (LTS) and have Lyx 2.0.6

Thanks for any help

Problem forward/inverse searching with Sumatrapdf 2.4

[Andy]

I am unable to get forward inverse searching working. Have followed
instructions at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SyncTeX, and have tried

Converting sty to layout

[Andy S Feng]

Hi all,

 

I would like to know how to convert a sty file to a layout file. I have read
the help\customization pages and followed the steps but it doesn't seem to
work. 

 

My situation

1)  Downloaded miktex along with lyx

2)  Installed vertex latex package with miktex which includes an
aer.sty file

a.   This aer.sty file is located in C:\Program Files\MiKTeX
2.8\tex\plain\vertex

3)  Followed steps in lyx help\customization to create a layout file
that is of the article class

a.   This articleaer.layout file is located in C:\Program
Files\LyX16\Resources\layouts

4)  Reconfigured lyx

 

Problem

1)  The article (aer) does appear in document\settings\document class

2)  But once i select it and start typing, it reverts to the plain
article layout which is the incorrect layout.

 

Your advice on how i could solve this is most welcome!

 

Andy

RE: Converting sty to layout

[Andy S Feng]

Hi Vincent and Richard, now i am getting a different problem, I'm new to lyx
1.6.6.1 so i must be doing something erroneous. Let me detail my steps

1. Make copy of article.layout renamed as article-aer.layout
2. Changed -
\DeclareLaTeXClass{article}
To 
\DeclareLaTeXClass[article, aer.sty]{article (aer)}
And added -
Preamble
\usepackage{aer}
EndPreamble
3. Saved article-aer.layout in C:\Program Files\LyX16\Resources\layouts
4. Open lyx, reconfigure, exit lyx
5. Reopen lyx, start new document, go to documents\settings choose article
(aer) as document class, clicked OK
6. Tried a test document
7. Then tried to view DVI or PS 

Got the following error
Undefined control sequence.
Undefined control sequence.
LaTeX error: Missing \begin{document}. Etc

With the following Description
 \nopagenumbers
   
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Advice much appreciated!

Andy

 Can you explain what you do here exactly ?

 Is it reverted without any message ? Does it get reverted if you press
 Apply ? Is it reverted after OK and opening the document settings
 again ?


We do need really detailed information about this. I can't imagine how 
this might happen. I've tried it with both 1.6.6 and trunk, and don't 
see any reversion no matter what I do.

Beamer and custom enumeration

Dear People

I'm trying to create custom enumeration using Beamer and Lyx on a few slides
I would like some like the example below as well as other options.

\renewcommand\labelenumi{\theenumi}

 these Lyx errores with theenumi, \labelenumi being undefined

What am I missing?

 Does the following (in your document preamble) achieve what you want?

 \setbeamertemplate{enumerate item}{H\insertenumlabel}

 That method does indeed work but unfortunately its creates a global pattern
and I would like to make custom indivual lists for slides
i.e

QT fonts Blurry

Like to ask a question

[Andy Turner]

Recently moved to Ubuntu, which I much prefer to windows. However, I'm
having trouble finding a suitable word processor.

My problem is that I need 'intelligent' outlining. Ie. 

header a
child b
child b
child c
child c
child b
header a 

I'd like to be able to then fold in by level so I can choose to see only
header a's plus child b's, with child c's hidden or only header's and
then be able to unfold in same way. I find it a good way to write /
study. 

My question is whether I can do this with Lyx or is an overkill? If it
is, any suggestions? I'm not going to be doing any proper DTP work.

Cancel that -- I found it - screen font preferences.
It seems to me that I got more reasonable defaults under 1.3.7?

using lyx with latex2html (hyperlinks)

[andy]

hello,

I'm writing up some documentation for a program I wrote with someone last
year. I've decided to use LyX because I like the program, and I thought it
would be easy to export to html using latex2html. I've tried this, and
it's working well apart from the problem that I can't make it translate
hyperlinks.

The first way I tried was to use the built in 'Insert Url...' option. This
doesn't work, as latex2html doesn't pick it up.

Then I tried inserting a raw tex sequence:

\htmladdnormallink{name}{url}

as described in the latex2html documentation. This doesn't work either -
it generates an error when I try to export to pdf, and when exporting to
html, latex2html still doesn't pick it up.

Has anyone found a way to get this working, as apart from this problem I'm
quite happy with the system?

Thanks,

andy baxter.

[Andy Hilgartner]

Hi --
I write scientific papers, occasionally including some mathematics 
(mainly set theory). I've used word-processors from the era of WordStar, 
under the CP/M operating system in the early 1980's, to Microsoft Word XP 
and OpenOffice/StarOffice. I function as an elderly (age 72) 
computer-user-former-typewriter-user, not a hotshot youngster who has 
computers eating out of his hand.
With a bit of coaching from a young friend -- who solved those 
install/configure problems that would have floored me -- I recently started 
using LyX 1.3.3 (mostly in the Windows port, on Windows XP operating 
system). I've never used TeX, have only glanced at LaTeX, and although I 
desire to abandon MS Windows althogether, so far I've only dabbled in Linux 
and Lindows/Linspire. I have spent some time reading the LyX Tutorials.
I have a text paper on my easel, and a related, longer, more 
technical one one which will include some set theory (and will go to an 
Elsevier journal) next in line. So far, I have found no way that works to 
modify or abandon the article Layout  Document formatting available in 
native LyX. Piecemeal changes, inflicted via the Layout facility, don't 
persist in successive versions of the paper, and when they revert, they 
make the layout (viewed in DVI) look grisly.
Once I even found the Elsevier template (elsart.lyx) inside LyX, 
under Templates. But I have not succeeded in making it WORK while I 
continue creating my document.
Please guide me -- how can I obtain effective help with this problem?
Yours,
Andy Hilgartner

resume document class?

 Does the X in LyX have the same pronunciation as that of LaTeX?  This 
 doesn't seem to be mentioned on www.lyx.org anywhere so I don't know 
 whether to say "lick" or "licks". :)
Never mind, I just remembered where I found the pronunciation before.  
It wasn't on www.lyx.org at all but in the Tutorial provided with the 
application.
Sorry to bother. :)

 LinuxDoc is not a class. It is a style and must be used with article, book

Ok, thanks for the clarification.  I do have sgmltools so I guess what I

 Most other programs use the current directory of the parent shell as the

This needs to be set in your .lyx/lyxrc file.  I don't believe that it will 
read the cwd, however, you can set the default directory that lyx uses.  
For example, I have created a directory called Documents in my home

\document_path ~/Documents

Then whenever I save or open it will look first in that directory.
